The 2015 Coproduction Village will select 25 projects in development (fiction, animated or documentary features) for which the main producer and the director are European, the latter being required to have already directed at least one feature or a number of short films singled out (or awarded) at festivals. Registration is open until 30 September.

The Work-In-Progress session will present excerpts from ten European films in post-production, which must not yet have a sales agent attached. The deadline for the call has been set as 14 October.

Registration forms are available on the festival’s website (www.lesarcs-filmfest.com). Interestingly, this year’s Focus at the Les Arcs European Film Festival will be dedicated to Norway.
